He Is Able To Help Us As He Himself Suffered When He Was Tempted

  Because He himself suffered when he was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted - Hebrews 2:18.

God is mindful of us and takes care of us

               God helps us as He is mindful of us and takes care of us. What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him? You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet - Hebrews 2:6-8.

No fear as God is our Helper 

             There is no fear as God Himself who had suffered when tempted is able to help us in all situations. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” - Hebrews 13:5,6.

Way of escape

               God helps us by providing a way of escape for us when tempted. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it - 1 Corinthians 10:13.

Helps us in our weaknesses

                God the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose - Romans 8:26–28.

With confidence draw near to the throne of grace to receive help

               With confidence we can draw near to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need as Jesus has been tempted in every respect as we are. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:15-16.

               Let us thank and praise God our Helper who is able to help us in all our situations. The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him - Psalm 28:7. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth - Psalm 124:8. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God - Psalm 146:5.      

                                                                             


PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our Helper. We thank You for helping us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
